Roma coach Jose Mourinho is unhappy that the Italian league match against Empoli (7-0) was played on Sunday, 17 September, and his team will have to play against Sheriff in the Europa League on Thursday, 21 September.
"Right now there are only three centre-backs. We are unlucky because we play on Sunday and then on Thursday in the LE - someone in Serie A doesn't like me.
I fully understand the influence of the press, but for me we were not the team that people were talking about a few weeks ago and I was not as terrible a coach as they claimed. We are a team with potential. Our aim is just to play match after match and win," Mourinho is quoted as saying by Pazzidifanta.com.
